Whether you engage us to complete a turnkey project for you or use our consulting and design services, you will have the security of knowing we will be there when you need us. Listed below are a few of the areas you will need to explore if interested in getting into this type of business. WWG can provide detailed assistance in each of these areas and more.

Analyze your Market:
The first part of an effective business plan is the market analysis. Competition, population, vehicle & pedestrian traffic to name a few are critical factors in determining whether or not to advance to the next phase. Should batting cages be part of a facility that encompasses several profit centers or should it stand alone? WWG can help you answer these questions.

Location:
Once you’re satisfied with the initial analysis you have completed, location selection becomes all-important. Success of failure of many businesses correlates directly to location. Careful consideration to certain factors must be included in your site analysis and selection. Should you buy land or look for a long-term lease? Often the best location may not be available for sale, but may be available for lease. If you choose to lease, let us help you build terms and conditions in the lease that directly affect your long-term business success. We can discuss the factors relating to this decision and assist you in securing the information necessary for this decision.

Government Approvals & Zoning:
Use local professionals. Find the local professionals that have a good reputation with the local authorities. Attempting to save money in this area can cost you time and ultimately money. Enter this phase of the project with a very cooperative attitude. We can suggest some methods for establishing and maintaining the necessary relationship.

Area Required:
15,000 to 25,000 square foot

Design Considerations:
Arms or wheels? Often a great deal of discussion will take place on the type of system to be purchased. We will review the advantages and disadvantages of each system without trying to sell you on one or the other. Rectangular cages or semi-circular, again each of these configurations has their advantages and disadvantages. Most commercial systems can accommodate either setting. In recent years, some developers have built batting ranges where customers get to see their ball fly its normal course. In certain limited situations, you may want to consider this option.

Construction Considerations:
Using installers that do this work all the times if highly recommended. Professional installers have the experience and expertise to deliver the product you want at a value. Local contractors can successfully complete this work correctly with adequate supervision and attention to the detail of provided plans. Most of the equipment companies include an installation supervisor in their quote. The IS will assist in getting the machines installed and calibrated. Batting cages can be completed in five to seven weeks. Should you start construction late in the season or wait until the next season? Do other phases of the project affect this construction? Let us help you pick the right time to start after considering all the relevant considerations.

Cost & Financing:
WWG can assist in securing financing for qualified clients: 5-Cage: $98,0000 7-Cage: $140,000 9-Cage: $171,000
